Bim is a pro-apoptotic protein within the Bcl-2 family, which functions within the intrinsic apotosis pathway.
Bim is known to interact with pro-survival proteins including Bcl-2, Bcl-XL and Bcl-w.
Bim is expressed in a variety of cell types, where it is maintained in an inactive conformation by phosphorylation or through binding to the microtubule-associated dynein motor complex.
Upon certain apoptotic stimuli, Bim is released from microtubules and mediates caspase-dependent apoptosis.
